Strange. I have tested this on Windows 10 and Raspbian and it works for me, flawlessly. Looks like libpcap is missing. Did you use the previous version of the plugin before and did you install libpcap on your system?

If no, please install it: sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev
If yes, can you please send me the log file /home/pi/pimatic-app/npm-debug.log? If you have an github account or you don’t mind to create one you can create issue and simply attach the log file to it by dragging the file into the browser page. https://github.com/mwittig/pimatic-amazing-dash-button/issues

This worked for me. It was a fresh install on raspbian jessie. Maybe you can help me too with my problem which i always have when i reinstall my system?I made my system new, just software side. Everything worked before! But now the whole homeduino gpio transmitter and receiver won’t work. I send, nothing happens, i receive…nothing happens. I tried it with fresh pimatic and the whole config.json as a backup and i tried it with fresh pimatic install, plugins install manually and the rest with adding in the config.json. Tried wiringpi, while installation like on this page https://www.einplatinencomputer.com/raspberry-pi-433-mhz-funksteckdose-schalten/

i get these errors while installing:

and when i try to send something like "sudo ./send 10010 1 0" nothing happens too.
Tried to enable Remote GPIO (dont know if this can help) in raspi-config and got error

"Failed to restart pigpiod.service: Unit pigpiod.service failed to load: No such file or directory."

i dont know what to do

gpio version: 2.44
uname -r
4.9.35-v7+

Sorry, I can’t help much with this. The errors you’re referring to are just compilation warnings. How did you install wiringPi and which version is installed? If you built your own like it is described in the article did you see error with that?

S7EN

Okay, i changed the pins of the transmitter from GPIO 18 to 17 because wiringPi transmits on pin 17.
With wiringPi i can send and it works now but i changed this in the homeduino plugin config too but it didnt work.
I get no errors in pimatic and got no errors before in wiringpi.
Maybe it has something to do explained in this thread? :

EDIT: i downgraded with

‘’‘
rpi-update af9cb14d5053f89857225bd18d1df59a089c171e
’’'
and now everything works
